To take the singer out of a recording you need to follow some simple steps:
1. Load the song you want to work on into Audacity. BE SURE THAT IT IS A STEREO RECORDING.
2. On the left of your new track you will see grey pull-down menu. Click it and select SPLIT STERO TRACKS.
3. You will now how two separate track for the left and right of your song. Select all the music in track 2 by clicking on the grey tab at the far left of the track.
4. Go to the EFFECT menu and select INVERT
5. Now for each of your two tracks, go back to the grey pull down menus on the left of each track and select MONO. Do this for both tracks.

That is it. Now your song has no singing. This process will seriously degrade the quality of the sound of your recording. But it is fine for practice or for some fun.
